Chapter 351 Sam's Confession
After listening to Ryan, Ryder glanced at Sam with a twinge of sympathy.
Ryan chuckled. "Ryder, I am pretty awesome, right?"
Ryder couldn't help but give him a genuine thumbs-up.
To be able to catch Sam while fooling around with girls, one had to respect that!
Ryder stood up and walked over to Sam.
He took the stinky sock out of Sam's mouth.
The moment the sock was removed, Sam immediately glared at Ryder and cursed, "Fuck you. Ryder, I...!"
But before he could finish, Ryder stuffed the stinky sock right back into his mouth!
The sock, rank with Ryan's sweat, made Sam gag. Tears welled up in his eyes as he stared at Ryder with a look that could kill.
Ryder didn't care at all and calmly said, "If all you want to do is curse, then there's no need for you to talk. If you understand, nod your head!"
Sam turned his head disdainfully, his expression dripping with defiance. What could Ryder possibly do to him?
Seeing this, Ryder instructed Rex, "Since Sam isn't cooperating, throw him into the river. I want to see how a tied-up person swims!"
Rex grunted in agreement.
He grabbed the sack and dragged Sam towards the river!
He moved quickly, as if he would throw Sam into the water at any moment!
This river was a tributary of the Elmrest River, and just a few steps from the shore, the water was 10 feet deep.
For a man bound and gagged, being thrown in meant certain drowning.
Seeing this, Sam was so scared that he started to scream.
But with the stinky sock in his mouth, his screams sounded awful!
Ryder glanced at him and scolded, "What are you yelling for? Be quiet!"
Sam struggled desperately, his eyes pleading with Ryder, clearly indicating he had something to say.
"What, now you want to talk properly?" Ryder mocked.
Sam nodded repeatedly.
Ryder gestured to Rex, who dropped Sam to the ground and yanked the sock from his mouth.
"Ah, ah, ah!" Sam gasped for fresh air
He almost lost his life!
Ryder looked down at Sam and said coldly, "Next, I'll ask you questions, and you just answer. If you talk nonsense, don't blame me for being ruthless. You know that."
Sam looked at Ryder with a mix of defiance and resignation as he reluctantly nodded!
Ryder was the person he hated most in this world!
He had once proposed to Sarah, only to be hit on the head with a bottle and humiliated.
Later, their conflict escalated, and Ryder indirectly caused his father's death and took over the Smith Group, which his father had built from the ground up over the years!
Sam went from being a carefree rich kid to a pitiful person almost starving to death!
With nothing left, Sam turned to prostitutes for solace, inadvertently exposing his location and getting caught!
But despite his hatred, his life was in Ryder's hands now!
He had no choice but to comply!
Ryder then asked, "First question, who provided you with the place you were staying?"
Without thinking, Sam answered, "Lucas, it was his old house!"
Ryder continued, "Why would Lucas take the risk of sheltering you?"
Hearing this, Sam sneered, "Lucas is a cunning old rogue. Somehow, he heard that my dad left me a piece of land, which was entrusted to a real estate company and would be transferred to me when I turned 28.
"He approached me and said if I gave him the land, he would protect me! I had nowhere else to go, so I agreed!
"Who would have thought he was all talk? He locked me in the house and wouldn't let me out, and I had to eat stale bread every day. What kind of life is that even? What a stingy bastard! No wonder my dad always said Lucas was no good!"
Ryder raised his hand, "Alright! Don't complain to me. I want to know if Lucas took you in just for the land, or did he have other motives?"
"This..."
Sam looked conflicted, clearly hesitating about something!
"One more reminder, tell me everything you know. I don't have much patience!" Ryder said coldly.
Fear flashed in Sam's eyes, and he shrank his neck and said, "Don't rush me, I'll talk! Isn't that enough? You're right, Lucas didn't just take me in for the land.
"He was also plotting how to deal with you because, according to him, you caused his family a huge loss in business recently, and he couldn't accept that. His goal was to get back what he lost! He made me stay in the house and think, even making me come up with a plan for him every day. It was driving me crazy!
"I came up with a lot of ideas, but he rejected them all, always pointing out my flaws. It was infuriating!"
Ryder continued, "Anything else you want to say?"
Sam frowned and thought for a moment, then his eyes lit up, and he said, "I just remembered something. During my time with Lucas, I always felt like someone was ordering him around!"
Ryder asked, "Why do you think that?"
"Because several times, I saw Lucas secretly making phone calls, and he was very respectful. He even assured me that with his current ability, he wasn't afraid of you. He just needed an opportunity to bring you down!
"In my opinion, even if the Windsor family doubled their strength, it wouldn't be enough, so he must have some backing!
"Now that I've told you everything, will you consider letting me go?"
Ryder rolled his eyes. "Don't dream about it. Given all the things you've done, honestly, even if I don't kill you, I won't let you off easy!"
Hearing this, Sam's emotions immediately became tense, and he hurriedly said, "Ryder, please don't hand me over to the police! I know we have a grudge, but it doesn't have to go that far!"
Sam had committed numerous crimes in the past.
If convicted, he could face up to seven years in prison!
Moreover, he had heard from other sources that Andy and Matthew were having a terrible time in detention, getting beaten every day!
He didn't want to suffer that fate!
Hearing this, Ryder smiled and patted Sam on the shoulder. "Don't worry, I won't hand you over just yet. For now, you'll stay with me. Once I'm done with my business, we'll have a proper 'talk'!"
After saying that, he sent a voice message to George, asking him to send a few guys over to take Sam away!
For now, Sam would be under George's control!
When Sam heard he was being handed over to George, he felt like crying but had no tears!
That wasn't much better than being handed over to the police.
